AC Milan have confirmed that both Tammy Abraham and Luka Jovic have left the club, leaving us with an issue to address this summer.
Abraham, 27, arrived on loan from Roma last summer, and went on to contribute 10 goals and seven assists in 45 appearances across all competitions.

It was a productive spell as he played an important role to give us additional firepower up top, and so we wish him well moving forward after the Rossoneri thanked him in a social media post to effectively bring an end to his time with us.
As for Jovic, the Serbian international registered four goals in 17 outings last season, and with his contract set to expire on June 30, he won’t be offered a renewal and will now move on as a free agent.
With the departures continuing to be announced, it’s creating further space in the squad and giving the club additional financial flexibility as Massimiliano Allegri’s rebuild continues to take shape.
What is clear after these two exits, coupled with departures for Riccardo Sottil, Joao Felix and potentially others, is that Milan will need to switch their focus to bringing in attacking reinforcements next month to ensure we have enough competition, quality and depth in the final third to compete next season and beyond.
Currently, it’s just Santiago Gimenez available to Allegri to lead the line for Milan, and so depth will certainly be needed, while the Italian tactician will likely want to add different dynamics to his squad too in order to have alternative tactical options depending on the opposition.
What is undoubtedly clear at this stage is that Milan’s business in the summer transfer window is far from over, as although we’re seemingly focused on rebuilding our midfield at this stage, there will be further incomings and outgoings to hopefully ensure that we’re a more competitive side across the board by the end of the summer.
Although both Abraham and Jovic made key contributions, there was a sense that we needed to improve in that department to take the next step and compete at a higher level, but much will depend on our recruitment as to whether or not we successfully manage to raise the standard of the squad.
